Air Columns And Toneholes-: Principles For Wind Instrument Design [upd]

The fundamental principle is that the distance from the reed/lip plate to the determines the sounding pitch. For a chromatic scale (12 semitones per octave), the holes cannot be placed at acoustically ideal positions because human hands have a limited span. A flute's lowest C is acoustically "far" from the embouchure, requiring a long tube. To bridge that distance, the designer uses a lattice of holes:

Cylindrical Bore (Open-Open): ============== (All Harmonics) Cylindrical Bore (Closed-Open): [============= (Odd Harmonics Only) Conical Bore (Closed-Open): [============> (All Harmonics)

Instruments like the clarinet act as a cylinder closed at one end (by the reed) and open at the other. They produce only odd-numbered harmonics, resulting in a hollow sound and an interval of a 12th when overblown.

Instruments like the flute and clarinet feature a tube with a uniform diameter.

Opening a hole allows air to escape, raising the pitch.
